OK.

I was just going to write you about your success with SC5.0 because
we have all of the patches installed and we still get failures
on our system.

The 'f77 mccget.for' invocation says to compile and link mccget.for
producing an executable named a.out.  For reference, what you wanted
to do was either of the following:

-- McIDAS method --

./mccomp -vendor -I. -I../netcdf/libsrc -c mcgget.for

-- non-McIDAS method --

ln mcgget.for mcgget.f
f77 -c mcgget.for
rm mcgget.f

If you notice, both of these examples do not use optimization.  After
installing the SC5.0 Fortran patches and rebuilding McIDAS on a Solaris
SPARC 5.7 system, I found that I was back to the mode of having to compile
mcgget.for with optimization turned off.  I will have to dust off the
code example that I put together that can demonstrate the problem to
Sun and send it off.  Like I said previously, this sucks!

The soulution, as you can see, is the old compile mcgget.for with
optimiaztion turned off!
